My child has attended Busy Bees Lichfield since October 25, and to say he has come along in leaps and bounds would be an understatement.
We have received an incredible amount of support from the nursery, including help with referrals and valuable advice on how to support my child with his speech delay,
support we had previously struggled to access.The care and understanding shown have made a huge difference to both my child and our family.
The staff are always engaging with the children and providing a range of activities to support their development which you can follow along with on the app. Management are also very approachable and always available to talk to, with their office conveniently located at the entrance.
After just a few months my child greets the staff with hugs and if that doesn't provide reassurance, I don't know what does.
I highly recommend this nursery to parents and carers with reassurance that the children are well fed, cared for and nurtured in this setting.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Lichfield for around two and a half years and she absolutely loves it. She has always been very settled and is genuinely happy going in each day.
The staff are consistently welcoming and caring, and she has built wonderful bonds with the team in her room as
well as lovely friendships with the other children. There is always a fantastic range of activities available, and her key person is incredibly supportive, working closely with her in areas where I feel she may need a little extra help.
The nursery also offers a great variety of food, and I always know that she is well fed and looked after while she's there.
The building itself is modern and bright with calming furnishings all around. Management are very knowledgeable and I know that any query I have will be sorted out straight away.
She has grown into such a confident little girl, and I have Busy Bees to thank for that!

Busy Bees Lichfield is a friendly environment where we feel safe to leave both of our children. We visited a few nurseries and this nursery had a calm, relaxed, comfy feel. Not to mention clean. We got 'the feeling' straight away that this was the nursery for us.
All the keyworkers have been approachable
and most importantly interested in our children and able to connect with them building strong bonds to ensure they feel at home and safe.
The managers at the nursery, Kelly & Laura both help and support when needed. Communication is key and this nursery communicates everything we require to ensure we are happy and aware
Thank you all staff at busy bees Lichfield

I am very happy I have chosen this nursery for my child. As a single working mom I find very helpful the days when my child is in the nursery, I know he is safe, which for me it is the most important thing and that he is happy and he learns new things.
I found the staff very professional, kind and
helpful, my child almost always runs for a hug or comfort with them, which means he feels cosy and safe being there.
I also find the activities interesting. I really hope he learns to speak English as good as he speaks his native language and I hope I always see him happy as I noticed he is at the nursery.
Kind regards to all staff,
A Mom

We are currently nearly 2 years into our busy bees journey and I am still as satisfied with the level of care my son is receiving as I was when he first started.
He has moved rooms and still the family friendly atmosphere of the amazing girls who work there does not stop.
We are that happy with
the nursery we have enrolled our new baby for January 2027 when she will be 9 months old.
I would recommend Kelly and the team at Busy Bees to anyone who asks of a great Nursery in Lichfield.

Busy Bees have made my child feel so welcome. I'm so pleased with how well he has settled in to this nursery, and that's down to the friendly, caring and kind nature of the staff. I have received great communication and love hearing about all the fun activities he gets up to. The building is modern
and always clean. Very happy I chose this nursery and would highly recommend.

Busy bees are excellent we could not rate them any higher. My son is 3.5 and has been here since he was around 20 months old.
I have never felt like he was just a number at the nursery, every member of staff knows us and greet us happily. We are updated regularly throughout his session and they treat
him like the individual that he is, there's no one size fits all approach to his learning or development.
The food the children get is always healthy and nutritional, and even if he refuses (he's a little fussy), he's offered an alternative to ensure he's not hungry.
My son enjoys the many enrichment activities on offer and he loves his key worker

Our son initially struggled to settle in, but the staff at Busy Bees were absolutely amazing. They were so supportive, patient, and understanding with both him and us as parents - nothing was ever too much trouble. They took the time to get to know him, helping him feel comfortable and happy.
We can
see how much he's grown in confidence thanks to the caring and dedicated team. We're so grateful for all their kindness and support - we couldn't have asked for a better start for him

All the staff at Busy Bees have been fantastic with our son since he started here at the beginning of June.
His settling in sessions were well structured, all the team show genuine warmth & care for all the children in the rooms. In particular, his key worker was fantastic at ensuring he felt supported
during his first few weeks. The activities they organise are engaging & interactive, plus the menu is healthy & balanced.
The app is great so we have full visibility of his day, including food & sleep, plus it's lovely receiving photos of him smiling and enjoying himself when he's there.
I'd absolutely recommend Busy Bees to both friends/family and prospective parents.

I am so pleased with Busy Bees Lichfield and their care for my son, he has been there since he was 9 months old and I've always felt relaxed leaving him every day knowing he is so happy and loves the environment. The staff are all so lovely and friendly and genuinely care for him and his development.
It's so clean and tidy and the food menu is always something amazing! His social skills and speech have developed so quickly particularly since he's recently moved into the rising twos room.

I've been really impressed with the Busy Bees Lichfield team who worked with my daughter to settle in. Every day they clearly made an effort to help her feel more comfortable. They had calls with me to talk about what she likes, suggested things we could do to ease the transition, prepared foods that
made her feel at home, and were always so friendly with all the staff greeting her by name on our way in and out each day. Now that she has settled in, the staff continue to work on her development, including crawling/standing skills, verbalisation, fine motor skills, and even on reducing her dummy use. They know what activities she likes, and it's very clear to me how much fun she is having at nursery now.
The following makes Busy Bees LF stand out to me: naptimes are child-led and there is not pressure for her to conform to group naptimes, the individualised approach to settling in, and collaboration with parents. I also appreciate that app updates come throughout the day vs at the end.

My daughter came to this nursery following the closure of one of the branches. Since starting in June 2024 she absolutely blossomed after a few weeks. The staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond for the children and for the parents. I would highly recommend this setting for any child.

My son transferred to Busy Bees Lichfield from another Busy Bees setting nearly 12 months ago. The staff were extremely supportive in helping my son through this transition period. They took the time to get to know him, his likes and his interests and he has settled so well. I'm beyond pleased!
Since
joining, I've noticed a great development in his language skills and the words he chooses to use - in particular his adjectives. He has also developed a greater understanding of the world, understanding why we do certain things or why certain things happen. Often now asking the question "why?" and becoming more and more curious each day. The staff are excellent!
We love the inside-outside flow of the room as he loves being outside on bikes, looking for insects and running around.
We're so delighted with his transition, and our youngest is due to start in the next few weeks. We are excited for his journey and would have no hesitation recommending Busy Bees Lichfield to other parents.

This is our third child to go to Busy Bees Burton. Even though we now live further away, we still feel the journey is worth it. All our children have thrived at this nursery, many of the staff have been there for over a decade, which speaks volumes about the environment they create. The staff at the
nursery truly care about providing the best possible environment for a child's growth and development. The communication is always excellent and we would not hesitate in recommending Busy Bees Burton to anyone looking for a great nursery for their little one, they are easily the best in this area.

Our child is autistic and has attended since he was 10 months old (nearly 3 years). We have found the SENCO to be incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, who has guided us through new and difficult systems. The nursery has hosted training which we have been included in (it's been invaluable). The preschool
team in particular have also been understanding and accommodating. Really love this nursery and the team.

Busy Bees St Matthews has been nothing short of amazing.
The transition from being on maternity to going back to work and leaving my daughter in their hands has been so easy and I feel so comfortable leaving her with them.
The room manager when my daughter first joined the nursery was incredible,
she took my daughter under her wing and nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She has since gone on adoption leave herself but every other person who has looked after my daughter has been amazing. I really can not fault anything about this nursery. I can't wait to see my baby grow up within the care of this nursery.

My little boy has been here since 6 months old and I cannot fault the care he receives. He is now 2 and a half years old and loves going to nursery to see his teachers. They are always so aware of his interests and his development and have really supported us in his potty training. I would recommend
this nursery to anyone wanting outstanding childcare.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees Burton nursery for around 2 years now. They have been amazing with her, really making me feel at ease. They provide constant updates throughout the day regarding her meals and nappy changes, as well as any photos. My daughter has created such special bonds with the
staff members, I couldn't recommend them enough! Her development and confidence has come on huge amounts since attending Busy Bees.
